What is a Relationship Coach?
A relationship coach is a professionally trained coach who helps you discover what you want - and get what you want - in your relationships. Your coach will assist you in creating a plan, and walk you through the steps of implementing it. She will hold you accountable by making sure that you follow through and complete your plan as well as offer you supportive resources, tips and techniques along the way.
Having the support of a professional coach can make a big difference in your success in creating what you want. Imagine having someone there to get you past your procrastination, doubts, fears and insecurities. Someone who has been through the process already, and knows how to move through the stumbling blocks that come up along the way. If you’d like to move forward in creating exceptional relationships, consider working with a relationship coach.

Coaching with Susan has brought me to a place of taking responsibility in my relationship. I have realized that I don’t have to provide his happiness, this has liberated me to move from obligation to desire and joy! I went from fighting and resentment to connecting with my husband by finding alignment and using new communication solutions. What a difference!

I have achieved more in the past six months in coaching with Susan than I have in the past six years… And most of all, my relationship with my husband grows each and every day…
-Kathy J., Florida
Before coaching with Susan, I was a workaholic and felt horrible about ignoring my family. My main focus was making money, but at the expense of my husband and two children. The tips and tools I have gained through coaching have helped transform my life, especially my family life. Now, I make daily choices to be involved in my relationships and make them a priority. The result is that my family and I are closer and much happier!
-Lisa A., Oregon
Susan's expertise and gentle, but firm approach has helped me to keep my standards high throughout hectic, overwhelming, high stress life events.

About Susan:
I consider myself to be a student of life and have traveled far and wide to be where I am now. My journey has been a rich adventure, sometimes very challenging, yet always exciting and moving me forward on my path. I use the analogy of traveling, journeys and paths as I have traveled to over thirty countries in the world and am passionate about exploring other cultures. I am grateful for the valuable lessons I learned from the many people I have met around the world.
My personal path has had many exciting twists and turns! My most recent dream come true was to move from Portland, Oregon to Nelson, BC Canada where my husband Steve and I have the precious gift of guiding our two boys on their own paths in life. Family life is very important to me. I enjoy spending lots of time with Steve and our boys. Other passions in my life include connecting with dear friends and family, my spirituality, hiking, biking, skiing, art, reading, gardening, playing marimba, traveling and living in an intentional community with ten other families.
In my professional journey, I presently have the privilege of working as a professional life and relationship coach. Many years ago I also enjoyed jobs such as instructing skiing in Germany, packing fish in Alaska, waitressing, teaching English as a foreign language to adults, being a home educator and a full time mother.
My current career path has included such experiences as earning a bachelors degree in psychology, counseling adolescents, families, and individuals, as well as working in a psychiatric hospital. I received my professional coaching certification from International Coaching Academy and then went on to be trained as a relationship coach through Relationship Coaching Institute. For the past six years I have earned the pleasure of coaching hundreds of people from all over the world. After coaching many people in many different areas of their lives, I have realized that my true passion lies in relationship coaching.
I am a person who loves fun, diversity, adventure, and new challenges. I am dedicated to living a life I love, not necessarily conventional but very exciting and in alignment with my values. I believe we are all on our own unique paths in life. I am passionate about supporting others on their journeys. My mission is to inspire and empower myself and others to live an INCREDIBLY rich and fulfilling life.
